Being an author has its ups and downs, and the path can take turns we never expected, but I do believe it all works out as it’s meant to in the end, if we’ve given it our best efforts. Good luck to you in all your writing endeavors – and best of luck with the new book out this summer!

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:21:44 +0000http://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/?p=6366#comment-27491Wow! I loved the video on making the cover! That was awesome, and, I love the cover too. Thank you for sharing this interview with us. I really enjoyed Mary’s perspective and wouldn’t mind trying her shoes on once or twice myself. I had an agent but it didn’t go anywhere and I’m now smart enough to realize that was a good thing. My writing wasn’t up to snuff at that point (late 90’s) and has progressed dramatically. I’ve been debating with myself about trying to find an agent again. I have gone the self-published route and did it in ebook and hard copy form. A lot of folks still want a ‘real’ book in their hands. I do have the over-done lament of wishing to sell more, but, hopefully with determination and a new book coming out at the end of the summer, more sales will be in my future. Thanks again. Also will be looking up Mary’s book cover artist! Great post. Lisa

Thank you, Mary, for sharing your path to becoming “hybrid”. I know in my heart that I will never be a J.K. Rowling or Suzanne Collins, so it is reassuring to learn from a first-hand source that life for the mid-list author is still rewarding in its own right with the venues now open to us. Kudos to you for taking the plunge and succeeding in it!

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 18:56:52 +0000http://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/?p=6366#comment-27394Although, like you, I love the idea of being in control of what I write and knowing that it won’t be rejected because you are the publisher and agent, I too want to have a foot in both camps. I also want to feel and see a book of mine in print. At the moment I am concentrating on my indie career, as I want to have ebooks out there for readers, so they can read something of mine leading up to when I hopefully have a book in print. Here’s to being a ‘hybrid’ author.
